Where can i find iControl REST API documentation for version 11.5?

The iControl REST API documentation on DevCentral is for version 11.6 or better. Where can I find the actual API documentation or specification for iControl REST version 11.5?

 

Thanks,

    I looked for an API guide for 11.5.x and was unable to find one. The vast majority of the API in 12 is available in 11.5.x however so it might prove useful to you.

      Is there any documentation that describes the differences? I've already run into this for managing users, because the parameters are different.

      I haven't found anything. I'll see what I can find as time allows but hopefully others can point us in the right direction.

      While I cannot commit to full API references for older versions before 12.0, I'll see if I can generate additional difference files from 11.6 to 12.0.

  • iControl REST was an early access feature in 11.5 and not officially released as a GA feature until 11.6. At this point the only official API references we have are for 12.0. The device itself has a built-in REST API schema by browsing to https://bigip/mgmt/toc.

     

    Starting with version 12.1, we are moving away from versioning and into a deprecation model to allow for consistency and backward compatibility when developing client apps. This should help with any difference issues between releases.
